ternoon, and at he was again in camp.
The coroner's jury censured the Judge
for not dlsarming and watching the An

something desperate was expected, and
they brought in a verdict Of murder
against Lint Anderson and Ed. Evans.
The testimony shows that cOnstables
were watching these men, but were
thrown off their guard by their composed
manner while the Judge was reviewing
the testimony. Scarcely had he pro-

dence and asked for a glass of water
Jennie, the popular and accomplished
daughter Of one Of the leading citizens
OF Bath County, waited upon him. When
she came near him he suddenly seized
and chlOrOformed her, and while under
the influence she was outraged. A search
resulted IN the arrest Of Nanderburg
and lynChing was prevented only by a
doubt of the prisoners guilt. After the
excitement had cooled down, Jennie
Anderson confronted the prisoner and
claimed to recognize him. At the pre-
hminary hearing yesterday the Ander-
son family were all present, besides
many other citizens. Jennie told the
horrible details of the crime, and the

An English FIRM at Thornton Forced
TO Close Its Works.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., May 25.-The
British Hosiery Company at Thornton
to-day posted notice of the probability
of a reduction to half the present force,
or a possible shut down This is on
account Of the extreme depression Of
trade, and large stock Of unsold goods.
This concern was imported from En-
gland, plant and operatives, in 1884, to
work under the advantages of protec-
tive tariff. The notice spread dismay
among the operatives, few Of whom
have saved enough to enable
them to return with their families
to England. In the event Of the
English help being unable to secure
employment elsewhere, the concern
will plan to run the mill half time on
reduced wages to save its operatives
from starvation. The mill has hereto
fore made only winter goods, but the
manager says if the present season can
be weathered, the manufacture of a
variety Of goods Will be begun which
viii insure plenty of work the year

Manitoba Preparing to Resist Govern

OTTAWA, Ont, May 27.-The debate on
the motion for suspension Of the gov
ernment's policy as disallowing the local
railway acts of the Manitoban Legisla-
ture was continued in the House of Com
mons until $50 this morning, when the
motion was lost by IS majority. Sever
al Liberals voted with the government.
The Canadian Pacific Will therefore con-
tinue TO enjoy monopoly Of railway
freights in Manitoba unless the people Of
the province take the matter into their
own hands, as they have threatened to
do. Meetings have been held to protest
against this action by the Legisla-
ture, at which it was Threatened
that, should the government refuse
permission for the construction Of
the southern outlet, the people
would build the line without the consent
of the Legislature The Canadian Pacific
Road was built and is owned by English
capitalists, whom il is claimed have ex-
erted al influence TO prevent the North
ern Pacific Company from building a
road into Manitoba, that their
own line may continue to have
monopoly of the territorial
business. Manitoba people claim that
the rates on freight are excessively high,
and have prevented rapid settlement
Of the district and injured the interests
Of the settlers now there. The an
nouncement that the Northern Pacific
would build TO Winnipeg was received
with JOY, while the report that the Leg
lslature Was likely to prevent the con-
structiOn Of the line caused loud threats
o rebellion and even secession. There
is no doubt that the situation is serious.
An attempt will certainly be made by
the Manitobans 10 build the road 10 the
border, regardless of consequences.
The movement will be resisted by the
government, and struggle Of more or
less magnitude is sure TO follow.
